Igo relatives settle dispute over will

A family fight over the assets of author and academic John Igo, who died in 2016, has been quietly settled.

The dispute between Igo’s younger sister Mary Helen Clark, 79, and her estranged daughter, Christine Kiesel, 60, was set for trial in June in Bexar County Probate Court.

Igo never had a will before he created and signed one in May 2016. Until then, Clark, his closest relative, would have inherited his assets. He died about three months later while under the care of Kiesel.

But Clark was left out of the will. Clark contested it, claiming that her brother was suffering from dementia at the time.
